Tips for All Tera Types Raids |
---|
|
Most raid Pokemon can be weakened if their Attack or Special Attack stats are lowered. This will decrease their damage outputs, especially if they are able to use moves that match their Tera Type.
Some raid Pokemon may have attacks, which are outside of their original typing, included in their moveset which also matches their current Tera Type.
Be wary of these attacks as these will deal more damage due to the Tera Type bonus if the raid boss uses it.
You also ought to watch out for coverage moves which are super-effective on your Pokemon that the raid Pokemon can use.
Some raid Pokemon may benefit from certain weathers, depending on their Tera Type. It is recommended to change the weather to something that will weaken the raid Pokemon's attacks or to stop them from taking advantage of the current weather on the field.
Weather Effects and How to Change the Weather
Several Pokemon may be immune to moves they are weak to due to their Abilities, like Flash Fire, Water Absorb, Levitate, and the like, or because of their Tera Types.
If you encounter one, use another Pokemon to bypass these immunities.
